The Rangers are going to get a new ballpark to replace the ballpark formerly known as the Ballpark. And with a retractable roof thrown in....Sources: Rangers, City of Arlington will announce plans for new retractable-roof stadium | SportsDay

How about Pete Incaviglia? Arguably the best power hitter in college baseball history and had a decent major league career but didn't come close to the stardom in the bigs that he had in college. And I can't believe no one had mentioned Tim Couch or David Carr yet.

Legendary Dallas sportswriter and one of the all time greats. Legendary News sportswriter Blackie Sherrod dies at 96

We have Dish ourselves but a couple of weeks ago, in order to save money not to mention the rude awakening we got on our taxes, I made the decision to lower our bill and got rid of the sports package. I've got the most bare-bones package now, and that also means no ESPN. I'm a huge baseball fan...

I'm not a country music fan but I am an Oklahoma fan. Yet, I cringe every time I see the TV cameras show Keith at an OU game. Think he is an annoying, obnoxious presence even though he played football for the Sooners. Jim Ross, on the other hand, always great to see him there on the sidelines or...

I have more than 20 years in the business myself but I am in limbo right now.

Had only one complaint from my recent All-Area basketball team and it was a very unlikely one, from arguably the worst team in the area, which won just three games and none in conference play. We select two honorable mentions for each team for those who didn't have someone make first team. Most...

Can't listen to Maxine Nightingale's "Right Back Where We Started From" without thinking of "Slap Shot."

:D

Likewise, they've also gone through quite a few logos in that same span. My personal favorite, BTW, was the logo they used when The Ballpark first opened - the star surrounded by the words "Texas Rangers Baseball Club."

Right, I failed to mention that some of the A and B districts have more than two teams, but it's standard in 2A through 4A that there's just two-team district playoffs; except one 2A girls team this year drew a bye in its district playoff and automatically advanced into the regional semis...

Hopefully, things turned out better for you after your bee than this gentleman:
